Sub WAR always when you're with another THF. 60~66 just use your normal level 2 skillchain.

After this, you'll need a light skillchain for like 90% of the things you fight. The only way this really works well is with a WAR tank using 1h axe. Do cross reaper (with prov, etc to turn the target) > mistral axe (or decimation once war gets it) > sharkbite off the WAR (or you if you can't get it off the WAR). This is really the only way DRK and THF can work in the same party at this level. Given WAR/NIN is an amazing tank, this party can work out fairly well.

3chain renkei does seem much powerful than doing 2chain lv3 renkeis.
there also a few times i tried to do 3chains renkei with LS PT but the renkei dmg were 150-200. so my best guess is, monsters we were killing had some resist made dmg not too good? red lotus -> penta -> cross (about 300-400 finsh) so we end up having the Sam 2 ways renkei darkness with Pal and Guilltoine -> Gekko for Fragmentation.
i aslo have question about Sam and Blm in PT. Sam doing 2 ways renkei and have blm get more MB in better than keeping the renkei 3 chains and one MB per fight?

This is exactly what my group does, and it really does work well. Cross Reaper is surprisingly strong even without sneak (400-800 average against IT's), the fusion is a nice linker, and then finishing with shark bite + light skillchain +MB pretty much kills anything. I've never really had trouble holding aggro during the war's mistral axe+fusion, drk are great at getting hate when they want to I've started leveling thf because I want to try it out as well, but for leveling I sub war and it works great.
